Mathematics are well and good but Nature keeps dragging us around by the nose. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
Since the mathematicians have invaded the theory of relativity I do not understand it myself any more. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
I became more and more convinced that even nature could be understood as a relatively simple mathematical structure. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
The bitter and the sweet come from the outside, the hard from within, from one's own efforts. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
“The golden proportion is a scale of proportions which makes the bad difficult [to produce] and the good easy.” — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
The mathematician knows some things, no doubt, but not those things one usually wants to get from him. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
This has been done elegantly by Minkowski; but chalk is cheaper than grey matter, and we will do it as it comes. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
But the creative principle resides in mathematics. In a certain sense, therefore, I hold true that pure thought can grasp reality, as… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
There exists a passion for comprehension, just as there exists a passion for music. That passion is rather common in children, but… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
Except in mathematics, the shortest distance between point A and point B is seldom a straight line. I don't believe in mathematics. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
Mathematics deals exclusively with the relations of concepts to each other without consideration of their relation to experience. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
That's my mathematician who examines problems which I put before him and checks their validity. You see, I am not myself a… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
“How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought independent of experience, is so admirably appropriate to… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
“In the judgment of the most competent living mathematicians, Fraulein Noether was the most significant mathematical genius thus far produced since the… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
But there is another reason for the high repute of mathematics: it is mathematics that offers the exact natural sciences a certain… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
“result: every description of events in space involves the use of a rigid body to which such events have to be referred.… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
It is my conviction that pure mathematical construction enables us to discover the concepts and the laws connecting them, which gives us… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
We come now to the question: what is a priori certain or necessary, respectively in geometry (doctrine of space) or its foundations?… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought which is independent of experience, is so admirably… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
One reason why mathematics enjoys special esteem,above all other sciences,is that its laws are absolutely certain and indisputable,while those of all other… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
The best that Gauss has given us was likewise an exclusive production. If he had not created his geometry of surfaces, which… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
I am exclusively occupied with the problem of gravitation and hope with the help of a local mathematician friend [Marcel Grossman] to… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
Do not worry about your problems with mathematics, I assure you mine are far greater. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
I never failed in mathematics. Before I was fifteen I had mastered differential and integral calculus. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
You think you have troubles with mathematics . . . I assure you mine are still bigger. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
Nature hides her secrets because of her essential loftiness, but not by means of ruse. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
One must divide one's time between politics and equations. But our equations are much more important to me, because politics is for… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
All these constructions and the laws connecting them can be arrived at by the principle of looking for the mathematically simplest concepts… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
Fraulein Noether was the most significant creative mathematical genius thus far produced since the higher education of women began. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
America is a democracy and has no Hitler, but I am afraid for her future; there are hard times ahead for the American people,… — Albert Einstein Copy Share
Common sense is nothing more than a deposit of prejudices laid down in the mind before you reach eighteen. — Albert Einstein Copy Share
The most fundamental question we can ever ask ourselves is whether or not the universe we live in is friendly or hostile. — Albert Einstein Copy Share
A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty - it… — Albert Einstein Copy Share
You imagine that I look back on my life's work with calm satisfaction. But from nearby it looks quite different. There is not a… — Albert Einstein Copy Share
The right to search for the truth implies also a duty; one must not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be… — Albert Einstein Copy Share
Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom. — Albert Einstein Copy Share
The world we have made is a result of the level of thinking we have done thus far. — Albert Einstein Copy Share
Anyone who thinks science is trying to make human life easier or more pleasant is utterly mistaken. — Albert Einstein Copy Share
“Just because you don't believe in something doesn't mean it isn't true.” — Albert Einstein Copy Share
But there is another reason for the high repute of mathematics: it is mathematics that offers the exact natural sciences a certain measure of… — Albert Einstein Copy Share
Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet. — Albert Einstein Copy Share
